CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is a continuation-in-part of the co-pending patent application Ser. No. 12/010,222, owned by the same applicant.

a) FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The invention relates to a localization technology of mounting a game, in a portable storage device, on a game console, and more particularly, to a localization system for mounting a game, in a portable storage device, on a game console and a method therefor, capable of promptly mounting a game program on the game console without installing any game and of saving time of files transmitted to an internal hard disk.

b) BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

Every household can be said to hold at least one game console for family entertainment. Game consoles on the market have various kinds, such as XBOX, XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, WIT, NM and so on. Two ways to perform a game for the game consoles include (1) performing it via an internal hard disk storing a large number of games or (2) performing it via an optical disk or cassette.

However, the game consoles when being used have the following problems:

With regards to current software, the development speeds of file sizes and numbers are extremely greater than those of a hard-disk space and interface. Further, a game in a portable storage device, such as flash disk, is read into a hard disk in a game console, and then the game can be performed. In the case that there are hundreds or thousands of games in the portable storage device, much time must be spent for reading the game. Besides, the game console could be down because a game main program has a size in GB as a unit, and even greater than 10 GB. Undoubtedly, a lot of time is wasted and the above method is not practical. The hard disk in the game console has limited capacity, and thus cannot load more games. Besides, due to containing a hard disk, a traditional game console becomes bulky with occupied internal space, is not easily carried and has a cost issue.

Accordingly, the invention is proposed to achieve objectives to solve the above disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

According to the above disadvantages, the inventors had long experience in this field and straight did researches and tests, and finally the invention can be developed to a localization system for mounting a game, in a portable storage device, on a game console and a method therefor, capable of promptly mounting a game program on the game console without installing any game and of saving time of files transmitted to an internal hard disk.

The present invention is provided to achieve an objective of promptly mounting a game using a nonsynchronous localization technology to simulate a portable storage device as an internal hard disk in a game console. Thereby, effectiveness can be enhanced. The game console has a reduced volume and can have a game promptly mounted thereon without any hard disk.

In order to achieve the objective of the present invention, a game console and a portable storage device informationally connected with the game console are provided. The portable storage device comprises a target, i.e. targeted word unit, informationally connected with a header, i.e. small database having a correspondence code, capable of reading a logical configuration unit containing at least a game image file, wherein the game image file has a correspondence code corresponding to the correspondence code in the header and thus can be precisely read by the small database, i.e. header. The game console is informationally connected with the portable storage device through at least an interface informationally connected with a storage unit. The storage unit has an application program that can be run to read the corresponding code, having correspondence to the game image file, in the small database, i.e. header, to perform a display function and lead the game image file to be loaded in a free space in a main memory. When a user uses a controller to click on a game to be performed, with the processing of a central processing unit (CPU), the game image file is loaded in the free space in the main memory and the game is performed. A method for the game console reading the portable storage device comprises first a user connecting the portable storage device with the game console; next starting an application-program menu on a screen; running the application program to determine if the portable storage device is found or completely connected via the interface (in the embodiment, the portable storage device is determined to be found); searching for the targeted word unit, i.e. target, in the portable storage device and game information in the small database, i.e. header, in response to the game console finding the portable storage device; next checking if any cover information or setup-file information has correspondence to the correspondence code in the small database, i.e. header; for example, in the case that game information corresponding to the correspondence code 01 in the small database, i.e. header, is to be obtained, the small database, i.e. header, can verify by comparison the cover information or setup-file information having correspondence to the correspondence code 01 in the header to be read; and next returning the read information to the application-program menu, loading the read information in the free space in the main memory and displaying the read information on the screen. Thereby, the technology of the game console reading the portable storage device is complete. Afterwards, when the user uses the controller to click on a game in the application-program menu, with the processing of the central processing unit (CPU), the game console can directly read the game image file of the code number 01 to be loaded in the free space in the main memory and perform the game. Thereby, the technology of promptly mounting and localizing a game is completed.

Accordingly, the above technology can solve that the traditional game console, only after reading all games, stored in the portable storage device, one by one to be saved in a hard disk in the game console, can perform a game. The traditional game console is time consuming and the hard disk in the traditional game console has capacity that is easily filled up such that no more game can be stored in the hard disk. The above technology can solve the traditional game console, due to containing the hard disk, having a volume that cannot be reduced. Internal space is led to be occupied and the traditional game console is led not to be easily carried and to have a cost issue. The present invention can break through these traditional problems.

When the game image files 141 are clicked to be released, each of the game blocks or folders includes a game correspondence code (GAME ID), game title, game (main) program, game sound data or file and game graphics data or file. Referring to FIG. 10, in a view from a game console, multiple game folders or blocks seem to be seen. In the game folders or blocks are game correspondence codes, game titles, game (main) programs, game sound data or files and game graphics data or files.

Accordingly, in accordance with the present invention, a localization technology of mounting a game, in a portable storage device, on a game console can improve traditional technologies, mentioned as below:

A game can be promptly mounted using the nonsynchronous localization technology to simulate the portable storage device as an internal hard disk in the game console. Thereby, effectiveness can be enhanced. The game console has a reduced volume and can have a game promptly mounted thereon without any hard disk. In the other words, the portable storage device can be preset as a hard disk in the game console so as to perform the nonsynchronous localization technology.

Besides, the indefinite number of the portable storage devices can be promptly mounted.

Unless otherwise stated, all measurements, values, ratings, positions, magnitudes, sizes, and other specifications that are set forth in this specification, including in the claims that follow, are approximate, not exact.
